Focus on Continuing Medical Education
The AANS Coordinating Committee on Continuing Education (CCCE) recently voted to reduce the number of neurosurgical credit hours required for the Continuing Education Award in Neurosurgery. Beginning with the January 1, 1999-December 31, 2001 award cycle, the number of neurosurgical credit hours required within a three-year timeframe will decrease from 90 credit hours to 60 credit hours. AANS Active and Active (Provisional) members are required to receive the Continuing Education Award in Neurosurgery and remain in good standing in the AANS.

To assist you with the documentation of hours, the CCCE will mail personalized CCCE transcripts to all AANS Active and Active (Provisional) members twice a year, in the spring and fall, in an effort to help members monitor their progress and add applicable credits to their CME files.

For more information regarding the Neurosurgery Award program, or to obtain a copy of your CME transcript, visit the CME Section of^®, or contact the AANS Membership Department at (888) 566-AANS.
